Google something random
Feed your curiosity by picking a totally random topic and going down a lighthearted Google rabbit hole.
Instead of scrolling aimlessly, try a curious twist: type a weird, funny or oddly specific question into Google and see where it takes you.
Think: “Why do flamingos stand on one leg?” or “What’s the oldest recorded joke?” It’s a playful way to learn something new, spark laughter, or just get out of your own head for a few minutes.
This micro-activity can help reset your brain, satisfy your curiosity and give you something quirky to share later with a friend, partner, or kid.
